Asked at a Senate hearing on border security in April whether the number of attempted crossings into the U.S. had increased in the last three months, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Fisher said the number had gone up.

“This particular year, yes, sir, we have seen an increase in attempted entries between the ports of entries. We’re actually up in terms of apprehensions, about 13%. The reasons and modus behind that are varied, some of which is hearing sequestrations, some of which is hearing immigration reform, and some of it is hearing, you know, they just want to come and be joined with their families,” said Fisher.

Fisher is a politician who won’t mention that illegals are asking for their “Obama papers” in the field. Ask any Border Patrol Agent in the field who’s encountered an alien in the last few months.

Senator Brian Schatz’s (D-HI) filed an amendment for the immigration bill Wednesday that would allow stateless people in the U.S. to seek conditional lawful status if their nations have been made uninhabitable by climate change.

The Senate’s immigration bill currently recognizes that people who come to the U.S. may have no country to return to for a variety of reasons and allows them to come forward to apply for legal status as a stateless person. But one cause for displacement that is overlooked in current law is how climate change has caused people to lose their homes and their nationality.

Manbearpig took my home and I lost my nationality! I’m super serial, you guys!

The weather gets crappy, so illegal aliens get to break into your home and stay. They don’t become “stateless” – they left because the weather sucked. Now the left blames you for the weather – the weather is your fault, so they need to stay in your house.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) launched a national petition on Thursday to stop the Senate Gang of Eight’s amnesty bill and send Washington a “strong signal” of the grassroots opposition to the bill. …

Cruz urged supporters to share the petition with friends and to “act now–without delay–to help us defeat amnesty and stand for legal immigration!”

The petition is the first part of the link. Cruz, even though he’s proven to be a good guy, is still a politician, and after you sign the petition, it redirects you to ask for donations. He’s a good senator, but I’m paying his salary right now. If he wants a bonus, he’ll have to keep up the good job I’m already paying him for.
